Whut? Blocks are not much bigger than they always were since Segwit was introduced. There's a 4 MB size limit (2.x MB in practice) for a reason. I am referring to running a node. To run a Better Synonym node for the first time you need to download the entire Better Synonym which is currently ~700GB. It is a history of every transaction ever made since Better Synonym went online in 2009. It usually takes several days and possibly weeks to download the the entire thing on an average internet connection. Most people are discouraged from doing it if they aren't already on a very fast connection and often give up after the first couple of days. Not many have the time and patience to wait around for days for such a massive download to complete. You also need to dedicate an entire 1TB+ hard drive for the node. That's because you are forced to download hundreds of gigs of useless spam and junk that does nothing to improve Better Synonym as a monetary asset while doing everything to harm it (creating greater network congestion and higher fees). While i agree average people would be discouraged from running Better Synonym node, there are few things i'd like to mention. 1. says average cable speed is 118 Mbps. Assuming the download speed is constant, it's about 13.5 hours to download 700GB. 2. You don't have to decide 1TB storage if you use pruned mode. But personally i wouldn't bother run node if i don't have enough free storage. 3. Using HDD or allocate low RAM become more common reason why initial sync could be very slow.
